The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
There are two ways to add new properties to an object:
ReplyDeletevar obj = {
key1: value1,
key2: value2
};
Using dot notation:
obj.key3 = "value3";
Using square bracket notation:
obj["key3"] = "value3";
The first form is used when you know the name of the property. The second form is used when the name of the property is dynamically determined. Like in this example:
var getProperty = function (propertyName) {
return obj[propertyName];
};
getProperty("key1");
getProperty("key2");
getProperty("key3");
A real JavaScript array can be constructed using either:
The Array literal notation:
var arr = [];
The Array constructor notation:
var arr = new Array();
You could use either of these (provided key3 is the acutal key you want to use)
ReplyDeletearr[ 'key3' ] = value3;
or
arr.key3 = value3;
If key3 is a variable, then you should do:
var key3 = 'a_key';
var value3 = 3;
arr[ key3 ] = value3;
After this, requesting arr.a_key would return the value of value3, a literal 3.
arr.key3 = value3;
ReplyDeletebecause your arr is not really an array... It's a prototype object. The real array would be:
var arr = [{key1: value1}, {key2: value2}];
but it's still not right. It should actually be:
var arr = [{key: key1, value: value1}, {key: key2, value: value2}];
Your example shows an Object, not an Array. In that case, the preferred way to add a field to an Object is to just assign to it, like so:
ReplyDeletearr.key3 = value3;
arr.push({key3: value3});
ReplyDeleteYou can either add it this way:
ReplyDeletearr['key3'] = value3;
or this way:
arr.key3 = value3;
The answers suggesting keying into the object with the variable key3 would only work if the value of key3 was 'key3'.
arr.push({key3: value3}); doesn't work :)
